3But the righteous rejoice in God's presence, they exult with exceeding joy.
4Sing to God, make music to his name, his name is the Lord, praise him who rides on the clouds, and exult in his presence.
5Father of orphans, defender of widows, is God in his holy abode.
6God brings home the lonely, he leads forth the prisoner to comfort, so that none but the rebel lives cheerless.
7God, when you went in front of your people in your march through the desert, Selah
8earth shook, the heavens poured rain at the presence of God, Sinai's God at the presence of God, Israel's God.
9Rain in abundance, God, you did sprinkle, restoring the languishing land of your heritage.
10A dwelling therein your people found: in your goodness, O God, you did care for the poor.
11The Lord spoke the glad tidings of victory, a great army of women proclaim it:
12“Kings of armies they flee, they flee, and the housewife divides the spoil:
13dove's wings covered with silver and pinions with shimmer of gold,
14set with stones, like snow upon Zalmon.”
15A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan, a mountain of peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
16You high-peaked mountains, why look you askance at the mountain which God has desired for his home whereon the Lord will live forever?
17The chariots of God are twice ten thousand: the Lord came from Sinai, his holy place.
